ATV Accidents
ATVs, or all-terrain vehicles, can pose dangers when not operated appropriately. ATV accidents can cause head injuries, broken bones, sprains, facial injuries, property damage, and even death to those involved in a collision or crash. The likelihood of an ATV accident increases with the use of drugs or alcohol, reckless driving, speeding, carrying more people on an ATV than the manufacturer intended, or operating an ATV in unsafe driving conditions. If you or a loved one has been injured in an ATV accident, you may be able to receive compensation. Please contact us to learn more.

Defective Tires
The Firestone tire recall in August 2000 brought to the fore the issue of defective tires. Tire defects can result in serious injuries to both drivers and passengers. Tread separation and blowouts have been responsible for numerous injuries and deaths, and the rates of such accidents have been higher among truck and SUV drivers. Like other manufacturers, tire makers have a responsibility to ensure that their products do not harm consumers. If they do, the manufacturer may be held strictly liable under the law. Please contact our firm today.

Semi-Truck Crashes
Rarely can one drive along the highway without passing a semi-truck. But even though we are used to seeing them, their inherent dangers haven’t decreased. Semi-truck drivers often must navigate at speeds slower than the flow of traffic. These trucks have large blind spots, and they are prone to jack-knifing because of their awkwardly distributed weight and high center of gravity. In addition, trucks may spill their loads, potentially causing accidents and ultimately, injuries to other drivers on the road. If you or a loved one has been injured in a semi-truck accident, please contact our office.

Motorcycle Kickstand
Manufacturers of motorcycles are responsible for making sure that defective parts do not make it into their products. If a motorcycle kickstand is defective, riders may become pinned under a heavy bike or suffer other injuries. Even if the parts are not defective, poor design can lead to similar accidents. For example, a kickstand must be designed and built in such a way as to support the motorcycle and not to lose its effectiveness with repeated use. If defective parts or poor design have caused you or a loved one to be involved in a motorcycle kickstand accident, please contact us today.

Roof Crush
Roof crush is one of the important factors that determine how safe a vehicle will be in a rollover accident. SUVs are the vehicles most likely to have rollover accidents, and, unfortunately, many have a high propensity for roof crush during an accident. When a roof collapses, there is less room for the driver and passenger. Their heads often strike the roof, which can cause paralysis or death. When roofs crush, there is also a greater likelihood of the passenger being ejected, which increases the risk of serious injury or fatality.

Defective Seatbelts
Many statistics have shown that wearing a seat belt can significantly lower your risk of injury during a motor vehicle accident. Almost all states require drivers and passengers to wear seat belts. For this reason, seat belt failures represent a sort of betrayal by the automobile manufacturing business. When a seat belt fails to serve as a restraint during an accident and a person is injured or killed as a result, the vehicle manufacturer may be legally liable. Please contact us today.

Vehicle Rollovers
Rollover accidents are far more likely to cause serious injuries than are other types of accidents. In addition, rollover accidents have a much higher fatality rate. Unfortunately, the preponderance of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and vans on the road has led to a higher number of rollover accidents. SUVs and vans are more prone to rollovers because of their higher center of gravity. Unfortunately, many such vehicles also offer limited roof crush protection, increasing the risk of driver and passenger injury during a rollover crash. In addition, school vans are also prone to rollover accidents. We expect that our children will be well cared-for and safe in the hands of school officials and in school equipment or vehicles. If our children’s safety is compromised, it can be devastating. If you or your loved one has been injured in a rollover accident, we can help. Please contact us today.
